Another Twitter launches, this time it's called Yappd

Twitter has a good thing going on, their text updating service is easy to use, effective, and it was first to market. Pownce, although a Twitter-esk clone, does provide a few exciting features like that ability to send files besides just text updates. This ...

Download Squad's invite-a-palooza: the finale

Over the past two weeks, we've dished out a bucketload of invites to all the hottest Web 2.0 services and more, as part of our Invite-a-Palooza.

Pownce API slated for September

These days, the terms 'web 2.0 company' and 'API' seemingly go hand in hand, especially if the company has a climb up the market share ladder ahead of them.

Facebook just got Pownce'd

The instant messaging application isn't even available to the public yet, and it's being integrated into social networks. It didn't take someone long to wrap up Pownce and integrate it into Facebook using the developers API, but its here and ready to use. Jake Jarvis didn't sweat it out too much when developing this add on, and now those Facebook users that have been lucky enough to score a Pownce ...
